FOUNDATION OF OUR SUCCESS.

Genesis has three Company Behaviours that are the foundations of our success. These behaviours show what 'great' looks like for every person working here

People who Keep it Simple get stuff done and come up with great ideas that have sound business benefits. They think “customer first” and deliver.

Make it Happen means being decisive, energetic and being up for giving new things a go. It's about celebrating success and working well with teams across all parts of our Company.

Do what's right is all about focusing on the things that matter and using good judgement. Doing what's right means being accountable, responsible and playing our part for customers and in our communities.

Our Vision

At our heart, we’re a people company. So who better to bring our vision to life than the men and women who make the energy, who drive the trucks, and who answer the phones.

Learning and Development

On the Job Development

At Genesis, you'll be encouraged to grow your knowledge and skills. We do this through on the job development and by giving you exposure to tasks and projects that will help expand your capabilities.

We approach your development using the following framework:

70% from real life and on-the-job experiences, tasks and problem solving.

20% from feedback and from observing and working with role models.

10% from formal training.

Leadership Development

We also use the 70/20/10 model to develop our leaders. We achieve this through experience, exposure and educational development opportunities.

These include internal and external leadership programmes, coaching and mentoring, secondments and special projects.

The Company works in conjunction with employees to identify their career aspirations and support them in developing a career plan to achieve their career goals.

Work/Life Balance

Volunteer Day
The Genesis volunteer programme gives employees one paid day off each year to volunteer on community projects. This strength in numbers enables the completion of tasks that would be otherwise unachievable and demonstrates the power of volunteering in transforming communities.

Social Club
ClubGen is a social club run by Genesis employees. If you decide to join, you'll be part of regular social events, as well as recreational and cultural activities across each of the Company's locations. It's a great way to network and connect with your colleagues away from work.

Recognition

The Recognition Programme ‘Recognising You' celebrates both individuals and teams who live our three behaviours in delivering great outcomes for Genesis. Our Recognition Programme is designed to let you recognise great work done by your colleagues.

Employee Electricity and Gas Discount Offer

At Genesis all our employees are encouraged to become brand advocates. To help you better understand our products and services, we offer an additional prompt payment discount on their Genesis electricity and gas bill.

Health and Wellbeing

Health Insurance

Medical bills can be unexpected and expensive. To help you manage your wellbeing, Genesis provides employees with Southern Cross ‘Wellbeing One' or ‘RegularCare' insurance provided at no cost to you. You can include a partner and dependents at your own cost within your policy if you wish. You will need to pay for any additional family member cover, but the annual pricing offered does provide a significant saving to you.

Life, Terminal Illness and Personal Accident Insurance

The Company provides employees with paid insurance covering life, terminal illness and accident insurance to help provide you and your dependents with peace of mind. Again, this is an excellent benefit as the Company provides this free of charge for its employees. You can also include family members at your own cost if you wish.

Trauma Insurance

Paid trauma insurance is also provided to paid employees. This is a one-off payment for a serious illness event.

Income Protection Insurance

Genesis Energy provides employees with paid income protection insurance to help provide financial security by paying your income if you were off work with an illness for an extended period.

Financial Security

Superannuation

Planning for retirement is important. Genesis supports its employees with a 4% Kiwisaver Company contribution.

Employee Share Scheme

The Employee Share Scheme gives you an easy way to share in the Company's future success. The scheme opens annually to new members, usually around August.

Employee Referral Programme

We believe 'talent knows talent' so to encourage you to help us recruit the best people, we provide a cash incentive to reward staff who refer new employees to the company.

Banking/Financial

As a Genesis staff member, you can take up discounted personal banking offers through Westpac's EmployeePac offer and ANZ's [email protected] package.

Staff Discount Offers

From time to time, we are able to offer staff discounts to our employees on specific purchases.
